The oranges in with the reds really captures the nature of the garnet's colour exceptionally well. Beautiful work, a definate fave : )

I love garnet, it's a pretty gemstone. Beautiful picture! I also love your elementals. When I saw the aquamarine lineart I thought the style looked familiar.

wow the shading for the white fabric is beautiful! I think it was a great idea to have the colours blend like that instead of the one colour - i take it you did that part with copic markers looking at your comment at the top?

Being born in January, I can safely say that Garnet is the one that most people use as the Birthstone.

This is beautiful, thank you very much for the lovely picture for us to look at <3

There are many colors for Garnet, but from my knowledge dark red is the most common.

ChaosFay [2009-02-10 21:20:06 +0000 UTC]

I really like how soft the colors are. I've always seen garnets as a rather harsh looking stone but you've definitly made it far more beautiful.
